Oak Hill Elementary up 40 spots statewide this year
Summary:

Zip code 47725 in Evansville, Indiana is home to three public elementary schools — McCutchanville Elementary School (PK–6, 919 students), Oak Hill Elementary (K–6, 476 students), and Scott Elementary School (PK–6, 475 students) — all part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp and serving 1,870 students combined. All three rank in the top 15% of Indiana elementary schools, even though the district itself is rated 258th of 374 Indiana districts (31st percentile, 2 stars). That contrast is the key fact for parents: a district-wide rating can mask a pocket of strong individual schools.

McCutchanville Elementary School is the academic pacesetter, with the highest proficiency of the three in every subject — ELA 64.31%, Math 71.37%, and Science 62.55%, roughly double the district's rates in each — and the group's best state rank at 69th of 1,015 (93rd percentile, 5 stars). Oak Hill Elementary is the momentum school: its rank has climbed every year (87th to 91st percentile, now 5 stars), it posted the largest year-over-year gains in Math (+5.2 points) and Social Studies (+11.5 points, to 77.27% against a state mark of 47.2%), and it has the lowest chronic absenteeism (5.1%). Scott Elementary School is the steady, well-resourced option — smallest enrollment, lowest student-to-teacher ratio (14.4), highest per-pupil spending ($11,878), and a stable 85th-percentile rank.

A few patterns stand out. Resources do not track with results here: McCutchanville Elementary School spends the least per student ($10,769) and has the largest classes, yet posts the strongest outcomes, while Scott Elementary School spends the most and scores lowest of the three overall. Attendance is a shared strength (5.1% to 8.2% chronic absenteeism, versus 21.5% district and 16.7% state), and every tested grade level in every subject at all three schools beats its state benchmark. Fifth-grade math is a common soft spot — 57.58%, 59.09%, and 56.00% — though all remain well above the state's 42.0%. Scott Elementary School's science declined 2.0 points, the only subject-level decline at any of the three.
